Utter stupidity by the Aussies...wickets falling lol...Clarke has been in fine form today but unless they get some big runs they will lose this game...not that it means anything in the grand scheme of things as the Aussies have won the series but still a win for England gives them the confidence for the WC in a few weeks time.

Missed the second innings this game due to pastoral commitments at church tonight. Thought the Poms were going to clean us up with that incredible effort from Trott (surely MOTM?) but was pleasantly surprised when I checked the result a few minutes ago.

*edit*

Hmm, seems there was a bit of cheeky cheating? Matt Prior playing silly *******; Trott using a runner, then coming on to bowl later on in the match! Pffft.

Oh dear, oh dear. Naughty Mr Prior.

*edit*

England's injury crisis deepened as the team arrived in Perth ahead of the seventh and final ODI against Australia, as Paul Collingwood was officially ruled out of the match following the back spasm that prevented him from bowling during Wednesday's two-wicket defeat at the SCG.

Perhaps he can get his runner to fly back to the UK for him? :p

Australia won the toss and elected to bat. We reached 7 for 279 after 50 overs, helped by 19 wides from sloppy English bowling.

Will be interested to see how the Poms respond.

Ooops, there goes Strauss. Out for a duck on the second ball!

*edit*

Davies! 2 for 5!

*edit*

Trott & Pietersen gone; 4 for 63.

*edit*

Oh my days! Bell's gone; 5 for 64!

the tour is far too long & probably getting to a lot of the players.
the 2 20/20 matches & 7 one day matches are stretched over nearly 4 weeks. seems a bit ridiculously long. should have been 5 matches in total max. and no more than a 2 day gap between matches.
